Sydowiella or Melanconis teleomorph on Betula

Hi,
Found this on Betula, rather fresh fallen twig. found February 24, Asserbo, Denmark
Groups of black ostioles protruding through a whitish disc.
Asci: 102-124 x 13,6 - 18,7 my, with prominent apical pore, IKI-.
Ascospores: 20,2 (16,8-25,0) x 8,9(7,8-11,5) my, Q=2,23 (2,05-2,69), n=20. 1-septate, hyaline with oily content.
Anamorph not seen.
I can't figure out whether this is Melanconis stilbostoma or Sydowiella ambigua ...also I'm uncertain what the difference is between them.
... any help appreciated.
Kind regards Mathias

Re : Sydowiella or Melanconis teleomorph on Betula
I just realized that it cannot be Sydowiella ambigua, because the peritecia are stromatic and immersed in the substrate, so it must be the common Melanconis stilbostoma. Here is the description of S. ambigua by Munk from "Danish pyrenomycetes" 1957.
